Growth Factors Driving Saudi Arabia’s Digital Transformation Industry

• Government-Led Vision 2030 Initiatives

The hope to change its digital footprint can be traced to the Dream of 2030, which is to be achieved through radical economic diversification among other initiatives put forward by Saudi Arabia. The country has spent more than 9 billion dollars on technology with priorities such as availability of digital infrastructure such as 5G networks that cover 77 percent of the country and fiber-optic access to 3.9 million homes. The Digital Government Authority has computerized 97 percent of the government services making it very simple to use ranging from the healthcare, education and so forth. The use of such programs as the National Digital Transformation Unit or the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority promote the adoption of AI and data governance, and the public sector becomes an example of productivity. Through these initiatives, a ripple effect is realized through the urge of the businesses to keep up with the use of digital tools to make it more competitive, which increased the contribution of the tech sector to 15 percent of GDP or about 131.9 billion dollars.

• Surge in Private Sector Investment

Summer price: An incentive by the government and a swelling technological market worth more than 40 billion dollars is getting companies to jump on the digital bandwagon. Global giants such as Accenture, Microsoft, and Huawei are partnering up with local organizations, such as the Saudi Cloud Computing Company, to launch their cloud systems and AI providers. As an example, Qualcomm and Aramco just declared a collaboration relationship to develop IoT solutions in such industries as oil and gas. The interest of the private sector can also be noted by the 95 percent increase in the number of new investment agreements and 267 percent rise in the number of business permits. Penetration of the internet in the 36 million people is at 98 percent, which is enabling enterprises to exploit the capabilities of digital platforms in order to attract a tech-savvy consumer base, fostering innovation in e-commerce, logistics, and smart manufacturing.

• Rising Demand for Digital Skills

A dominant number of people require expert employees which is a significant promoter of online growth. Saudi Arabia has developed more than 381,000 technology careers, including the rise of female operations in the field to 35 percent, compared to 7 percent before, surpassing the G20 and EU averages. The $1.2 billion program implemented by the government would use 100,000 students to strengthen their skills in cybersecurity and programming to guarantee a continuous stream of talent. Businesses are also spending on upskilling and companies such as SAP collaborate with local universities in matching the education to industry requirements. This emphasis on the human capital helps the move to implement the latest technologies such as AI and IoT because they require knowledgeable employees to install and operate the technologies. Digital literacy would provide the Kingdom with a workforce needed to achieve its ambitious change agenda.

It has intelligent infrastructure such as intelligent traffic and networked energy systems. Another huge project, the Red Sea Project runs operator-digital twins that are able to create optimal tourism infrastructure. The 99 percent of the internet and 5G coverage in the Kingdom will support such projects and provide real-time data analytics, enhancing the efficiency of the cities. As an example, the NEOM IoT sensors optimize resource management, leading to a reduction in costs of operations by as much as 40%. These programs enhance not only the rate at which technology is being adapted but it is also generating interest of the global investor who would like to invest in some of the games being played in the digital economy, 74 per cent of business leaders characterised smart cities as competitive advantage in the digital economy.
